Society might have been better off without them, but we are supposed to look after the disadvantaged, and so we do it. But it doesn't help the society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Society is better off without certain people.
A system that was originally designed to support the poorest in society is now trapping them in the very condition it was supposed to alleviate.
I believe that poverty is often the result of inappropriate behavior - out-of-wedlock births, dropping out of school, crime and drugs - which should not be rewarded. But often it isn't, and common decency requires that we take care of the least of these.
We need to find ways to elevate the expectations, particularly of those individuals who may start off on a lower socioeconomic rung, who might be seen as disadvantaged. But, you know, the reason I say be seen as disadvantaged, it's because life is so short, and there's so much that can change.
When a society abandons its ideals just because most people can't live up to them, behavior gets very ugly indeed.
People have an awful lot of problems that society has put on them and a lot to work through because of it.
We know that social exclusion is closely tied to the new economic world order, globalized, with free and open markets, which isn't bringing prosperity or social justice to all.
I never thought of being disadvantaged.
The first resistance to social change is to say it's not necessary.
Let those who like society better have it.
